There was an ancient Saturday Night Live sketch with John Belushi and Richard Pryor doing Belushi's famous Samurai schtick. They are two hotel bellhops (in Samurai costume complete with swords with hair drawn back) who get into an argument over who's going to carry the guest's heavy bags up to the room. Pryor says, "Yo' mama-san!" to which Belushi replies "Yo' granmama-san!" Pryor says "My granmama-san?" to which Belusi nods his head. Pryor takes out his Samurai sword, and with a shout of "HAAAIIIIII-YA!" cleaves the hotel desk in twain. Belushi quietely says, "OK!" and picks up the bags.

Well, I don't know if the Latin is perfectly grammatical, but then, I didn't make this one up; I just saw it and, using my rudimentary Latin I and II skills from 43 years ago, burst our laughing. (Any old-time Catholic should have recognized "pater" from "Pater Noster.")

Slava, I'm curious how the Ruskies get "Mother" from "Pater." On the other hand, maybe I shouldn't be ...
